Meyer Lemon Marmalade Making Workshop with Merrilee Olson at Gold Ridge Organic Farms

Join chef and food preservationist Merrilee Olson, founder of Preserve Farm Kitchens, at Gold Ridge Organic Farms for a hands-on workshop celebrating the vibrant flavors of Meyer lemons. This is more than just a cooking class—it’s a complete farm-to-jar experience where you’ll learn the art of preserving with an experienced culinary instructor.

With years of experience transforming farm-fresh ingredients into culinary treasures, Merrilee will share her expert techniques and secrets for creating marmalade with the perfect balance of sweet and tangy brightness. In this immersive 3-hour class held in our rustic apple cottage, you’ll work with Gold Ridge Organic Farms organic Meyer lemons, learning traditional preservation methods in a relaxed, hands-on setting.

You’ll leave with your own jar of handcrafted Meyer Lemon Marmalade, a keepsake apple blossom pink apron, and a bag of organic Meyer Lemons from our farm so you can practice your new skills at home.

Your experience includes a scenic ride through the farm aboard our apple-themed trolley or apple blossom-pink VW van, plus morning tea.
